Ice Spice was a late addition to 2022's impressive newcomers list, but the Bronx native managed to become one of the most captivating figures by the end of the year — and her fans have high hopes for 2023. The 23-year-old rapper and self-proclaimed baddie added some new zest (and lingo) to New York's dominating drill movement thanks to her viral summer hit "Munch (Feelin' U)," and she's slowly cementing herself in pop culture with her "Spongebob Squarepants"–inspired track "Bikini Bottom" and newly released song "In Ha Mood."
Ice Spice may only have a single festival performance under her belt, but she's already earned a major cosign from Cardi B, and her next order of business is dropping a debut six-song rumoured EP, per the "The RapCaviar Podcast." Last year, the curly headed rap star got a chance to introduce herself and her unique style to the world, making social media her personal playground for breaking new material. 2023 will be a true test of her talent and longevity as fans anticipate even more viral breakthrough moments.
